Digestive NETs are the second most common malignant digestive tumor after adenocarcinoma. The most common gastrointestinal NETs arise from the small intestine. These tumors have a high lymph node and distant metastatic potential (hepatic, pulmonary, etc.). Their management is essentially surgical and the extent of the resection essentially depends on preoperative data from conventional and isotopic imaging. The goal of surgical resection is to remove the portion of the small intestine carrying the tumour(s) with healthy margins (so-called R0 resection) and affected lymph nodes in the mesentery (lymph node dissection). The extent of lymph node dissection, sometimes significant, exposes you to the risk of short hail with its own complications (malnutrition, diarrhoea, etc.). Consequently, an analysis of the benefits and risks between the interest of an extensive and oncological resection (R0) and the risks of short bowel must be carried out for each patient. The reference examination to define lymph node involvement is determined by the histological examination of the resected surgical specimen (reference examination). The preoperative evaluation of lymph node extension is done by preoperative abdominal CT scan. However, the preoperative CT scan is not always consistent (sensitivity and specificity) with the pathology data (reference examination). For about 5 years, isotopic imaging (DOPA-PET and DOTATOC) has become feasible and could improve the quality of preoperative evaluation of lymph node extension. Consequently, the aim of this study is to determine the contribution of isotopic imaging (DOPA-PET and DOTATOC) in the preoperative evaluation of lymph node extension.
A prospective observational trial of patients with metastatic cancer of various entities which aims at both clarifying the significance of liquid biopsy and establishing a foundation for translational research.
The research to be carried out is aimed at patients with metastatic breast cancer, specifically bone metastases. These patients will be recruited from two hospitals in Granada, provided they meet the established inclusion criteria. With this study, it is pretend to demonstrate the benefits of a program of therapeutic exercise and functional recovery of motor control with ultrasound feedback for the improvement of the functional capacity of the women eligible to participate in the study, as well as a positive impact on the quality of life of the patients other than their survival. The effect of the Overcome program will be compared with the usual treatment in this type of pathology. To do this, a pre-intervention evaluation and another at the end of the evaluation of the variables to be measured, such as functional capacity, will be carried out. In addition other evaluation will be carried out, after 6 months to assess the long-term effects. In addition to the three main variables such as functional capacity and quality of life, another relationship of secondary variables will be studied, such as physical state, body composition or pain threshold, among others. This study in its entirety will be carried out by the "Oncology Patient Support Unit - Take Care" in the hands of a multidisciplinary team, carrying out the intervention protocolized by physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
Through scientific and rigorous design, implementation, follow-up and statistics, the sponsor aims to explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy (platinum + paclitaxel) in the treatment of patients with bone metastases cancer with unknown primary, and provide a better treatment plan for these patients. 1. Primary outcome: Objective response rate (ORR) 2. Secondary outcomes: disease control rate (DCR), duration of remission (DOR), progression-free disease (PFS), overall survival (OS), median PFS, median OS, stratification based on clinical features and PD-L1 expression, adverse reactions (AEs), and quality of life.
Recurrence of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer after R0 resection is mainly due to the invisible minimal residual disease, which are the main factors leading to metastasis and recurrence. Positive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is the direct evidence of the minimal residual disease (MRD). In recent years, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Immunotherapy (CAR-T) has made great breakthroughs, and has achieved good therapeutic effects in hematological tumors, but the research on solid tumors is limited. CEA expression is generally elevated in gastrointestinal tumors and is associated with high aggressiveness of tumors. At present, solid tumor cell therapy targeting CEA has been carried out at home and abroad, and has achieved certain efficacy. Anti-CEA CAR-T cells targeting CEA have been constructed in the pre-clinical study of this project, and the pre-clinical study results suggest good safety and effectiveness. Formation of minimal residual disease is associated with circulating blood in the residual tumor cells. Using this feature, this project intends to conduct a phase I clinical study on patients with minimal residual disease /positive ctDNA after R0 resection of colorectal cancer liver metastasis, so as to conduct preliminary exploration of anti-CEA CAR-T cell therapy, evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the therapy, determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and provide guidance for subsequent drug dosage and clinical trials.
Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) especially higher generation TKI have higher CNS penetration rates and have shown favorable response rates in brain metastases. Brain radiotherapy/surgery is the standard treatment in brain metastases especially symptomatic metastases, however, the role of local treatment especially in driver mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer with asymptomatic brain metastases is being questioned given their potential side effects. No randomized trial has shown the superiority of early vs delayed cranial RT in asymptomatic BM of driver mutated NSCLC.
The proposed research consists of engagements with terminal cancer patients and their friends and family as they engage in end-of-life planning.
The main aim of this study is to find out the safety, tolerability, and effect of TAK- 280 in participants with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cancer who have experienced treatment failure or are intolerant to standard therapies. Participants will be treated with TAK-280 for up to 14 treatment cycles. Each treatment cycle will be 28 days. After the last dose of study drug, participants will be followed up for survival every 12 weeks for a total of 48 weeks.
To investigate the value of CTCs and ctDNA in the diagnosis of metastasis in ascites/peritoneal flushing fluid and blood; To investigate the influence of laparoscopic CO2 pneumoperitoneum establishment on peritoneal and hematogenous metastasis of advanced gastric cancer; To explore the influence of the number and type of CTCs and ctDNA on metastasis and prognosis.
